Title: Belfast City
Post by: String on April 04, 2009, 02:45:41 PM

since i have been in belfast city during the course of my treatment there has been a lot of helicopter activity including G-PSNI. it has been quite busy this week including wednesday's football as it was flying over the area all night.
I have also seen quite a few airplanes flying over, but can't take any pic's as we are not allowed any personal equipment ie(camcorders digital cameras) as they may get stollen if left unattended.
not long to go now just 8 more days to go and i should be fine.
looking forward to see if there will be more aircraft activity that i haven't been able to see before.

Glad to hear the treatment is going well!

There should be lots of FlyBe Dash 8 Q400's, Embraer 195's and perhaps the odd Saab 340 of theirs although I havn't seen one for quite a while.

Also you should be able to see Ryanairs 737's and BMI A319/A320's. Recenty G-MIDX, the Star Alliance logo jet for BMI has been operating into Belfast.

Theres also the resident PC-12 Pilatus N234RG which I've seen a lot of recently, along with a few business jets.
